Good evening everyone!
As you can tell, I just joined the forum, and want to jump right in.
Who am I?
I spent 5 years in the Marine Corps, and now I get to reap the benefits of going to school! 23 year old freshman, hell yeah. I got out of the Corps in April, and in June moved to the city where my school's at. I've made a lot of new friends, and reconnected with some old ones, but for the most part everyone is wrapped up in the 9-to-5 and partying or school and partying. Don't get me wrong, I love to party, but there's no one around here with the same money hungry mindset that I do. I've been going to a few of the Entrepreneur Club meetings, but everyone's caught up in the "5 year business plan and $500,000 bank loan" business. I'm about the act and react now business. Will it hurt me in the long run? Maybe, but it hasn't so far.
I've been playing around with self-publishing since the end of March. I started out actually writing books myself, but found it's a whole lot easier outsourcing. Right now I have 3 writers on oDesk, one who's been working for me since April, and the other two I just hired.
Here's my sales chart since I've started, and you can also see the amount published. September may be off around a hundred dollars, depending on how much KDP borrows are. Right now, based on the amount of sales I've had in October already, it's putting me at around $1300.
In total my expenses have been around $100 for stock photos, and $120 for outsourced writing.
Here we go!
